5 Derma-Approved Ways to Look Like a Star

Clarissa V. Cellona MD, FPDS, founder of SkinCell Advanced Aesthetic Clinics, shares the top five anti-aging treatments that can help you achieve brighter, firmer, and younger-looking skin through solutions where beauty meets modern technology.

1. Collagen boosting

A popular non-invasive procedure, Ultherapy uses time-tested ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin around the brows, chin, neck, and chest naturally and without surgery or downtime. By incorporating ultrasound technology, Ultherapy lets doctors see the layers of tissue being treated, ensuring that the collagen boosting effectively targets the area where the treatment is needed the most.

Ultherapy is best for people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who wish to have a smaller- or slimmer-looking face. Patients only need one procedure to see visible results.

2. Instant skin rejuvenation

The powerful duo of Genesis and Titan by Cutera utilizes top-of-the-line infrared technology and gentle Nd:YAG laser to instantly brighten your complexion. Titan safely heats up the dermis to stimulate new collagen production, while Genesis selectively targets pigments, pores, fines lines, and redness on the skin's surface. Suitable for all skin types, Genesis and Titan are quick, pain-free solutions: They have zero downtime and don't require anesthesia.

3. Anti-pigment laser treatment

The StarWalker FRX is an anti-pigment laser treatment that lets you achieve lighter, even-toned skin with fewer treatment sessions than the existing fractional laser treatments in the market. That’s because it uses a non-ablative fractional laser beam, which heats the skin without injuring the surface.

Using StarWalker’s advanced laser technology, SkinCell also offers the Panda Eye Treatment, which is for eliminating tired-looking eyes. With a few painless and quick sessions, Panda Eye can give you younger and brighter skin around the eyes without any downtime.

4. Skin resurfacing with 4D laser face lift

Fotona 4D, a non-invasive laser treatment for face lifting, has a unique combination of four modes of aesthetic treatments for combating facial aging. This no-downtime procedure treats both your face and the interior oral cavity by tightening and adding volume to the skin without injections. Combining four or “4D” unique modes with two complementary wavelengths results in a smooth lifted look. With Fotona’s 4D technology, you do not need cuts or injections to achieve a new you.

5. Complete rejuvenating treatment

The premium Time Machine Procedure, or TMP, is a complete rejuvenation treatment that uses a patent combination of the latest technologies—fractional ablative microplasma laser, radiofrequency, and ultrasound and platelet-rich plasma—to address signs of skin aging like sun damage, wrinkles, sagging skin, and facial muscle hyperactivity. The improvement is most visible on the eyelids, under the eyes, cheeks, forehead, and the jowls. Overall skin quality is also refined. Available records show patients looking ten years younger in just three months after the procedure.

SkinCell is the only licensed provider of TMP in the Philippines.

SkinCell Advanced Aesthetic Clinic is located at San Antonio Plaza in Forbes Park Makati, Venice Grand Mall in McKinley Hill and New Bocobo Center in the heart of Manila.
